help on moxa C168P multiport serial needed
Hello All,
Does anybody get working multiserial card in Debian? I'm trying
to install Moxa C168P card (actually two) in my box running woody,
fresh install, kernel-image-2.4.18-686 with devfs. I've configured
these cards with io_irq.exe under dos: one card has CAP: 0x300 and IRQ:5
and another's CAP: 0x180 and IRQ:10.
When I'm trying to insmod mxser it complains about this:

I've tried to create ttyMxx/cumxx manually or with /etc/devfs/devices.d/moxa
but module still complains. And I cannot use msdiag, it says that board is null
